I’m sure most of the readers of lesswrong and overcomingbias would consider a singleton scenario undesirable. (In a singleton scenario, a single political power or individual rules over most of humanity.)
I very strongly disagree with this. I believe that most non-singleton scenarios are disastrous, and that a friendly AI singleton is the only outcome which is likely to be worthwhile.
the idea that multipolar power arrangements are inherently unstable equilibria might be an artifact of human fear/irrationality about costs/benefits of violent contests for dominance.
